encfs + nfs = nothing

Hi all,

I have a fileserver whose data I want to secure against physical theft, so I set up an encrypted encfs volume. encfs works very well and painlessly, until you try to export the data via NFS. Doesn't work! Seems to be an obscure limitation of fuse filesystems...

The "official" suggested workaround is to export the raw data using NFS, and run encfs clients on every client computer, but that's a cross-platform management nightmare. I want Windows and FC5 computers to access the NFS shares.

Alternatively, a "user space" nfs server can be used - but I don't see any packaged for FC5.

Any suggestions on how to make this work?
